AMD Ryzen 8000 Hawk Point laptop processors unveiled with marginally faster AI performance

[Redaktion]

AMD has unveiled nine new APUs as a part of its Ryzen 8000 series of laptop chips. They're classified into HS and U categories, each with varying TDP ranges. Laptops powered by the said processors will launch in Q1 2024.

"Ready for generative AI" couple years after running generative AI locally was a problem. Normal CPUs (wink wink bait for Apple haters) are already running big language models.

Not CPUs alone but SoCs.

Not CPUs alone but SoCs.

No difference in this case, same old CPU+GPU.

'That, plus its confusing names, lends credibility to Intel's recent core truths rant."

Like Intel hs any legs to stand on with the 'Core truths.'

12th Gen = 13th Gen = over half of 14th Gen all on the same process node

6th gen = 7th gen cores = 8th gen cores = 9th gen cores = 10th gen cores all on the same node plus some of the 11th gen (Rocket Lake)

So only 11th Gen was new and on a new node because MTL = RPL other than new node with reduced clock speeds

So only 6th, some of the 11th, 12th and some of 14th were/are 'new'. 4 news in 9 years

No 8030 and 8020 this time? Good, but then why use 4 at all? Because 8050 coming?

Since when 40% uplift in AI performance in "Marginally faster"?

Can anyone name a real acceleration of any of their current tasks using these blocks in the SoC?
